Using AI to Prioritize Static Analysis FindingsIntroducing static code analysis tools into the development process can be difficult, with an overwhelming number of standards, rules, and practices to navigate. This can make the adoption of static analysis challenging, as unoptimized configurations can …

In 2020 alone, 40.5 million people were newly displaced by conflict and disaster, many of them being arbitrarily displaced. In reality this number is even higher as it does not include displacement by large- development projects or displacement of those that were already displaced. Preventing arbitrary …

Conceptual mathematical models play a crucial role in the development of engineering specifications required in the detailed design process and in the test and evaluation of avionics equipment. Specifying aircraft proximity is a precursor to the development of aircraft Detect and Avoid (DAA) systems …
